Host A is sending data to host B over a full duplex link. A and B are using the sliding window protocol for flow control. The send and receive window sizes are 5 packets each. Data packets (sent only from A to B) are all 1000 bytes long and the transmission time for such a packet is 50 μs. Acknowledgement packets (sent only from B to A) are very small and require negligible transmission time. The propagation delay over the link is 200 μs. What is the maximum achievable throughput in this communication?
In a sliding window ARQ scheme, the transmitter's window size is N and the receiver's window size is M. The minimumnumber of distinct sequence numbers required to ensure correct operation of the ARQ scheme is

A 20 Kbps satellite link has a propagation delay of 400 ms. The transmitter employs the "go back n ARQ" scheme with n setto 10. Assuming that each frame is 100 bytes long, what is the maximum data rate possible?
Suppose that the maximum transmit window size for a TCP connection is 12000 bytes. Each packet consists of 2000 bytes.At some point of time, the connection is in slow-start phase with a current transmit window of 4000 bytes. Subsequently,the transmitter receives two acknowledgements. Assume that no packets are lost and there are no time-outs. What is themaximum possible value of the current transmit window?
The maximum window size for data transmission using the selective reject protocol with frame sequence numbers is:
Station A uses 32 byte packets to transmit messages to Station B using a sliding window protocol. The round trip delaybetween A and B is 80 milliseconds and the bottleneck bandwidth on the path between A and B is 128 kbps. What isthe optimal window size that A should use?
Station A needs to send a message consisting of 9 packets to Station B using a sliding window (window size 3) and go-back near or control strategy. All packets are ready and immediately available for transmission. If every 5 th packet that A transmits gets lost (but no acks from B ever get lost), then what is the number of packets that A will transmit for sendingthe message to B?
Suppose that it takes 1 unit of time to transmit a packet (of fixed size) on a communication link. The link layer uses a window flow control protocol with a window size of N packets. Each packet causes an ack or a nak to be generated by the receiver, and ack/nak transmission times are negligible. Further, the round trip time on the link is equal to N units. Consider time i > N. If only acks have been received till time i(no naks), then the goodput evaluated at the transmitter at time i (in packets per unit time) is
The distance between two stations M and N is L kilometers. All frames are K bits long. The propagation delay per kilometer is t seconds. Let R bits/second be the channel capacity. Assuming that the processing delay is negligible, the minimum number of bits for the sequence number field in a frame for maximum utilization, when the sliding window protocol is used, is:
A 1 Mbps satellite link connects two ground stations. The altitude of the satellite is 36,504 km and speed of the signal is 3 ×108 m/s. What should be the packet size for a channel utilization of 25% for a satellite link using go-back-127 sliding window protocol? Assume that the acknowledgment packets are negligible in size and that there are no errors during communication.
Frames of 1000 bits are sent over a 106 bps duplex link between two hosts. The propagation time is 25ms. Frames are to be transmitted into this link to maximally pack them in transit (within the link).What is the minimum number of bits (I) that will be required to represent the sequence numbers distinctly? Assume that no time gap needs to be given between transmission of two frames.

For a host machine that uses the token bucket algorithm for congestion control, the token bucket has a capacity of 1 megabyte and the maximum output rate is 20 mega bytes per second. Tokens arrive at a rate to sustain output at a rate of 10mega bytes per second. The token bucket is currently full and the machine needs to send 12 mega bytes of data _____________ seconds.
